Japan History

The history of this country is very long and painful. Let me give a brief summary. People that were from China and other asian countries came over to Japan. There they settled down and brought new ideas so that they could have a proper use civilization. Then Japan started to form a very feudal system were they split into clans and theses clans were ruled by Shoguns who were samurai kings.

This system didn't turn out well in the long run because they had many civil wars on who was going to become the Highest Shogun. During that same time and after Europeans started to come and visits there country and trading with them. Then the Americans came and brought guns and cannons and that begun the end of the Samurai.

Later throughout Japan's history they were in tons of wars such as WW1 and WW2. In WW1 they were on the side of the allies fighting against the axis of German and others. While in WW2 they went on the side of the Germans and they fought the Americans and took over most of China and the Pacific. After that war ended they have been very peaceful and live to make the world a better place.
